Dead list,
I know I look like crap, but it's just an hangover.. I'm not dead yet :)
I've just discovered the package lzip whose description says: "Lzip is a
lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with (..) a user
interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2."
I already have lzma installed, whose part of his description is: "This package
provides a gzip-like interface for the lzma program."
So what is the difference between lzma and lzip ? Should I fill a bug report
with minor severity to ask a statement in long description about differences
between lzip and lzma ?
You could file a bug-report regarding the description, but.. we are
talking about two different packages. In the lzip description it says:
"based on". Only that is enough to either try the package and make up
your mind.
If the description would be false, and the gip-like interface would not
exist, it might be interesting to start a debate to sort the difference
in opinion.
But, then again.. it is your call. Personally, I am not bothered by this
sales talk.
